Big Train - Stare Out - Disturbed by a streaker

[rosalielove11]

"Extraordinary stuff there John."

[peterpeterxxo]

wonder if giggles clifton or anan annak would have kept their composure.

[ebeneezzer]

Remember when Gash tried to cash in on the success of Gladiators back in the early 90's and nicknamed himself John Gashnu and yelled "awoooga!!" after every victory?

Absolutely pathetic stuff. Almost as embarrassing as that whole Gash Gordon business years before it.

[toshholly]

Always has to be someone who thinks he's a comedian. Thankfully the prompt reaction of the copper to the chopper ensured he didn't get to ruin the match.

[tomanyasses]

i heard there going to take away mirrors in children bathroom and room so they dont see a naked kid when they look at them seleves i heard .

[mmscott9]

Unfortunately this is not the first time an idiot has ruined such a great sporting encounter. In the 1994 Lidl Cup, rain began to pour onto centre court during the semi-final between Francois van der Blupen and Vladmir Kavalof. The athletes they were, a little rain did nothing at all to their concentration. However in the crowd, due to plain rudeness or more probably dementia, Cliff Richard began singing, and was quite rightly escorted from the arena and banned for life.

[FilimboUK]

Really weird to watch this again with a laugh track

[samthebitofalad]

I bought Stare-Out for the Nintendo Wii last week. (£19.99 from Morrisons was the cheapest I could find). Some great gameplay, though having to use the nunchuck makes it awkward sometimes. Somewhat stuck on Level 12 now, though. I give it 7.5 / 10, mainly for value for money.

[hammop1]

Gah. These idiots just ruin sport for the true fans.

[markrskinner]

I hope they gave that naturist idiot a good talking to.

[KevinMontgomery]

They showed great constraint in not breaking away. Extraordinary stuff.

[TheWolfsting]

Cant believe that moron did this just as the match was hotting up. True professionals at there very best

[fremsley001]

I bet the only staring that bounder of a streaking chappy ever did was between himself and his one-eyed trouser trout .... and it probably ended in tears.

[boydegg]

Ho ho ho - there's always one joker looking for his 15 seconds of fame.

[antistar1000]

That fucking idiot streaker nearly ruined it. Fantastic professionalism, not just from the 2 contestants, but from the police also on the day. Well done to all concerned.

[DaveBond21]

If mine was that big, I'd be showing it off too!

[barrybas]

That bastarding streaker ran on at the Bo "razorblade retina" Larckx v Perry "Hernia" Slushstoat match over the weekend, totally ruined it. The match almost had to be abandoned.

And his todger's got even smaller since then..

[sundaeg1rl]

Oh man, I should enter this. I am AMAZING at staring. I should be, my grandad was the late great Albert Fudgecake, 1934 finalist and Devon's finest starer.

Do they have a women's league?

[dorknight25]

I remember seeing photographs of the late great Albert Fudgecake but was never privilaged to actually see him in action. There is no actual womans league (at least in Europe) but my uncle Ray "The Glorious Cornea" Florian, had an exhibition match in Paraguay against a local woman in which he lost convincingly and still cannot see the colour Magenta to this very day. Women do make good starers no doubt, but I think a unisex league would be highly controversial and down right dangerous.

[garbagescowcaptain]

Couldn't agree more about these bloody *idiots* trying to ruin a perfectly good stare-off. Shame on you. Could you imagine if that match had to be restarted? The schedule would be buggered for days.

Sorry to hear about George. Could he beat God in a stare-out, you reckon?

[FFFUUUCCCKKKEEEDDD]

That streaker lives near me about two streets away. You wouldnt believe the trouble that hes had since he did that hes been beaten up 3 or 4 times had his windows smashed on his house his cars been burned out twice. He obviously didnt realise how solid a fanbase staring has. Just imagine if his actions had altered the outcome of the match the fans might have been baying for blood

[Reluctant5]

Sad to hear that George Gash died on Christmas Day according to his agent.

[kurtcobain1]

aww i can't believe hes gone. Well heaven has one more big bright Gash to stare at.

[Reluctant5]

It appears that he actually died on Christmas Eve but his wife wasnt sure whether or not he was just practising for the Rothmans Grand Prix at Wembley in January.

A sad loss.

[SteffanLlwyd]

A testimony to great skill that even the person who knew him best always thought his stare was 'dead man' grade. RESPECT.

[tom26141]

Christmas Day will always be a sad day for staring enthousiasts around the world. RIP George.

[Vladdyboy]

0:21 staring is SERIOUS BUSINESS

[SteffanLlwyd]

I swear I saw Gash The Tash in the Chatham Pentagon Centre on Saturday morning. But I had to look away fast in case I came to the same sorry fate as Tony 'Eyeballs' Suffolk. Thanks for filling us in about how Tasher robbed you blind by abusing his Stareathon skills for the purposes of street robbery. You don't need a lethal bissle when you can do Stareathon.

[Reluctant5]

I hated George 'The Tash' Gash at the time. I was never taken in by the 'working class hero' bit. I heard that he recently was narrowly rejected by the BNP to stand for them in the council elections at his home in Thameside. Trying to look like a left-wing geography teacher (i.e the patches, long tash with occasional beard and rank halitosis - according to his opponents)was as much of a charade as his 'happy' (i.e violent) marriage to the long suffering Shirley.

[UpTheShakers]

Gash was always on that border between upper working class and lower middle class. Doing so, he spread his net a bit too wide for my liking. The BNP stuff is news to me. He always tried to bond with his audience tho, did The Tash. If staring at the Sheffield Crucible (i.e performing there, not staring AT the place) he'd have a copy of the Daily Mirror under his arm. Or possibly Socialist Worker. If he was in London, or some fancy place like that, he'd be carrying the Guardian. Or Time Out.

[tonysuffolk]

Gash is a bastard........once tried to sell him a Big Issue. The f***ing C**t stared me to the ground and stole everything I had. People just walked but without lifting an eyeball. Being a great star of The Beautiful Game doesn't give any man the right to behave like that in the 21st Century.

[Reluctant5]

Yes, that sums the twat up perfectly. Campaigning for Shelter one minute and then crucifying you with top quality professional stares against your dog-on-a-string, any-spare-change-guvnor pitiful scowl back at him the other. He should be ashamed. Instead you see him on game shows and Celebrity Big Brother. It just shows.

[principools]

I'm amazed no one has picked up on the use of the tweed jacket, I thought tweed had been banned from the "floor" for over 10 years now, due to the use of urine in its manufacture, which on a wet day can release amonia gas resulting in "weeping" of the eye, and thus considered cheating.

Surely the judges must of known or did they turn a blind eye as usual to the flamboyount ukrainian? I for one shall be writting in

[UpTheShakers]

It's not real tweed, principools. It's a fake tweed made with ammonia concentrate instead. We've not seen real tweed at this level since 1997. Pity as fake tweed doesn't take leather patches very well, and leather patches were the trademark of 80's UK staring champion and (upper) working class hero, George Gash. The banning of tweed stands, you are not mistaken. But write in anyway.

[principools]

Thanks, and I can confirm that the "all England Staring committee" have confirmed what you said. I recieved the letter yesterday via a special delivery where by I had to out stare the postman before he would let me have the correspondance, anyway, after a brief six and a quarter hrs he let me have the letter, and its contents were somewhat of a shock. Real tweed as I thought was banned but I was unaware of the fake poly/cotton mix tweed, is nothing sacred in staring anymore?

[SteffanLlwyd]

I thought the 'Tweed Ban' was more to do with creating 'shimmer' in the HD field of vision achieved even among County Level amateur Stareathonathletes. 'Shows just how wrong one can be.

[dixiesda]

Who eventually won?

[rocon86]

good match. pity bout the streaker

[Rizla300]

Commendable staring but none of them a match for the 9 time World Stare Out Champion Spatsky of Poland

[BillDFC]

Is that Ironside on the left? Is he not only permitted to compete in the parastaring games?

[custerslastarrow]

I hope that streaker was punished,maybe he bought himself a little stick time. Trying to ruin a staring match with such a strange little interloper.

[SteffanLlwyd]

I agree. It takes years of tireless training in sleep deprivation (SD) to meet the exacting performance standards showcased on this, the most important date in the Stare-athon callender. The streaker is a disgarce to himself and to his country.

[custerslastarrow]

He should be put on a strict diet of male enhancement pills. Then have his clothes tattoed onto his skin. Lovely match though,well played.

[23132131]

As if... they're all on drugs anyway.

[samuelchallis]

staring competitions are always fun.

[jamespaul1977]

Great staring. Stupid streaker nearly ruined a classic match

[blokezed]

Oh big dear.

[blokezed]

Ok, you may comment on that tackle, Geoffrey Boycott, but I haven't heard you comment about US 'watch paint really dry' baseball. Time for a tour for you Yorkie.

[samthenan]

joke

[blokezed]

But on behalf of Bowls, this in totally in bad taste,

[blokezed]

Ok yeh a pisstake on cricket. Have youz ever watched baseball, or should I say, who can spit their chewing gum further? When are we going to get rid of the BBC covering our sport totally?

[mikkifly]

brill

[kluteqwerty]

awesome show.
